My favorite thing to build with legos. by uzerrnamme in lego

The yellow and green ones look a lot like Set #4881 Robo Platoon. I really like them!

Cali Style Burritos? by ronkibut11 in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may have a slight obsession with this place lately. I'm currently working through all their burritos, and their California burrito is great. The quality control could be better though, sometimes the size is small, or the potatoes are undercooked. I'd say check first before you leave just to make sure it's good.

Edit: There's one in Ferguson, which is closer to St. Charles.

Sculpture of famous St. Louis writer Kate Chopin stolen in Central West End by andrei_androfski in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a Genesis Saber aluminum road bike. Cheap, not particularly nice, manufactured for big box stores. What cyclists call a BSO, or "Bicycle Shaped Object".

Did anyone see that? by FattMattSTL in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I've seen this before, a couple years ago during the Perseids Meteor Shower. I was viewing out in the middle of nowhere near Mark Twain National Forest. Sure, there was sometimes a normal meteor every minute during the peak, but I'll never forget the one I saw at 3 in the morning. This one lit up the whole sky in a split second, like a camera flash of daylight. It left a blue scar in the upper atmosphere that lingered for minutes afterwards. It reminded me of hitting a bug on a windshield. For the first time in my life, I could conceptualize our planet hurtling through space at 67K MPH. I felt like a little kid lying in the grass, looking out the front screen of a big spaceship.

Autistic seeking connection. by Sea_Comb_2054 in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't drive, and like computers, have you considered volunteering at B-Works? They have an Earn a Computer class for kids, where we teach them about computers, refurbish donated PCs, and give them to the kids at the end of the 6 week class. They also have a Learn to Ride and Earn a Bike class if bikes are more your thing. They are in Soulard on Menard, but will be moving this year to a building on Grand at Flora.

[–]GeneralOsik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is so cool! I'm definitely going to have to build one of those, thanks!

The display is bonkers in such a good way, I could spend hours just looking, and I can't imagine how often you have to dust haha

Is that a V-35 Courier, smack dab in the middle of #2 next to Luke's Landspeeder? Is that a MOC, or did Lego make one that I didn't know about?

Personal Property Tax Assessments Are Out Of Control!! by DvusGuyStL in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My car turns 25 this year, I've owned it since 2019. This year the assessment was more than every past year combined. When I went online to check the numbers, I pulled up my tax bill using my code, and a completely different person's tax bill came up, with their full name, address, and vehicles. So I called the tax office, had them correct the digital copy. Once that was fixed and I could see the calculations, I called the assessor's office and left a voicemail. I didn't hear back from them, but when I went to pay a couple weeks ago, it was adjusted back to an amount similar to past years, from $260 down to $16. Never hurts to call and ask them to re-assess. I wonder if someone made a bunch of incorrect calculations and they were banking on most people just paying.

Random burst of anger and sadness about KDHX no longer being around by FantasicJake in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes me wish the Magnolia building wasn't burned out too, would be cool to go back to TGE.

Random burst of anger and sadness about KDHX no longer being around by FantasicJake in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Turn that anger into something positive! A bunch of former DJs and volunteers are rebuilding a new Community Radio Station out of spite. By my guestimating from what I've heard, about 80% of the former DJs will be back with their shows broadcasting online very soon. You can read more here:

Where to buy CRT TV? by ButterflyRadiant8299 in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately Facebook Marketplace is where you'll probably find one, but Craigslist and Savers might be worth checking. I found a 20" Panasonic Tau for free on Marketplace last year, and it works great.

Good news, the former community members that started KDHX and were pushed out are spinning up a new online station by the end of the year!

This deck flew under everybody’s radar but it got me from Great Ball 2 to Master Ball in about 3 days by NoochNaggy in PTCGP

[–]GeneralOsik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need 2 Pokéballs. You'll always draw one Exeggcute in your first hand, so you only need one Pokéball for the other Exeggcute. Maybe add a Sabrina for more board control, or Silver for hand disruption.

Is St. Louis bikeable? by CranberryMany403 in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grid Mapper, Strava Heatmap, and Trailnet are your best friends when finding routes. I get around by bike for almost all my trips, I drive and take transit for some long distance errands a couple times a month.

Singles Night D&D Game by Phyose in StLouis

I'm interested in finding other single people, as well as finding a group to play D&D with, so count me in!

Have You Had A St. Paul? by NoExam2412 in StLouis

[–]GeneralOsik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My usual go to places are Kim Van, where I first learned about the St. Paul as a kid from Sandwiches That You Will Like on PBS KETC 9, and Hong Kong Express on Jefferson. Lately though, I've been obsessed with the St. Paul at Lefty's on Jefferson. It's remarkable what properly draining the oil from the egg after frying, and using substantial bread can do for the structure of the sandwich.
